Overview
Fully revised and expanded, the Third Edition of this now classic introduction provides an invaluable guide to politics and ideas in late medieval Europe. From the divine right of kings to the philosophy of writers such as Machiavelli, the medieval city-states to the unification of Spain, Daniel Waley and Peter Denley focus on the growing power of the state to illuminate changing political ideas in Europe between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. Spanning the entire continent and beyond, and using contemporary voices wherever possible, the authors include substantial sections on economics, religion, and art, and how developments in these areas fed into and were influenced by the transformation of political thinking. The new edition takes the narrative beyond the confines of Western Europe with chapters on East Central Europe and the Teutonic knights, and the Portuguese expansion across the Atlantic. For those intrested in Medieval history.
